If you are traveling in a metro and manage to get a seat, it feels great to read something like a magazine, booklet or novel. But when this individual (gender unknown) chose to have this pleasure, she got to hear something which pierced her soul. In fact, when you’ll get to know the reason, you too will be shocked to the core.
It so happened that this person was reading a booklet of Jashn-e-Rekhta festival that was in the Urdu language and this was the only reason he/she had to encounter such a humiliating situation:
This tweet is circulating over the web:
Guys this happened to a really close friend today in Delhi and I'm getting a little worried now pic.twitter.com/AH5NSPIVTu

After this, a general question strikes our mind as to reading something in Urdu is a crime or what? Here, we must take into consideration the essential fact that like Hindi, Urdu is one among Union of India’s 18 national languages.
And Twitter gave a mixed reaction over this which is also surprising to some extent and at last, we got to find out at least some tweets which were sensible:

@sowmyarao_ @unessentialist sad that this happened to your friend. l read urdu texts in public all the time in India, and nobody cares.
